Oh my goodness Carole....I am one of those people...I bake but have never used yeast!!! Yes...never! You have now intrigued me sufficiently to give it a go! You make it look and sound so easy...and my maternal grandfather owned the village bakery in Italy. He would not be pleased....N. xo

Hi Carole, Your bread looks so mouth-watering. I would like to make one instantly but I had decided to stay pretty much away from carbs for a while, sigh. It's been some time since I baked a bread, acutally it's over 10 years ago that I made one. It will be your fault when I now think about fresh baked bread for the whole day, LOL. Don't you just love that smell? It would be the perfect ambiance or candle scent if you want to make someone hungry :-).Enjoy your yummy bread!xoxo,Julia

I love this blog post! You have humour first of all and also the connection of the bread making to your parents immigrating brings tears to my eyes for my own who came from Istanbul to Greece. My dad was a pastry maker but turned into a worker here. Life was so difficult!Anyway I'd love to try that bread it is easier than I thought!AriadnefromGreece!

WOW Carole,Your bread looks FANTASTIC ! I'm not a big bread eater but, when you get a fresh, warm loaf and spread butter on it well, there's nothing better. I shall definitely give it a go.Hope all's well with you ..... sorry I've been missing for a while but I seem to have been a little busy. Will email soon. Much love. XXXX

UHHMMMM I can smell those warm, beautifully looking breads Carole, I love new baked bread, and the wonderful smell through the house.Your photoes are great, and the new header, so spring-like and sweet.Hugs,Dorthe

I had not made bread in many many years and it was because of the yeast, yes, I am a yeast scardy cat! Hannah though, has been taking life skills and they made cinn. rolls with yeast so she had me buy some so that she could make some at home. They were delicious! (and I felt a bit silly for not having made bread in so many years when my 13 year old is telling me how easy it is!) So now we have all of the ingredients and I do like knowing what's in my food... so thank you for this! OH and I love your new header!!!t.xoxoxoxo

I've always thought it a lovely idea to bring bread to a housewarming. I'd probably score a lot of points if I showed up with yours in a basket. It's gorgeous!I love that first photo...styled or not. Seeing it made me think of what bread represents...life, traditions and welcome home.Deb

oh this post is just so beautiful. i love bread and have never made it. i am one of those who fear it. you do make it look easy. hmmmmm. maybe i need to try. your images are gorgeous. i could just jump through the screen and grab a piece.

What a great surprise to get a 'shout out' in your Blog. I feel quite honored. And your pictures. Spectacular. Carole, your writing style is delightful, witty and expressive. I can only aspire to those heights.

I did receive the entire book of bread making for the holidays. Let's see what 'develops' next.

That bread looks wonderful! I make so many things around here but I do have the fear of yeast. I make cheese for goodness sakes?! So why do I avoid bread? I just need to do it...thanks for the kick in the pants!xoCaroline

That bread looks delicious Carole and its beautifully photographed. I love bread, especially homemade but sadly I am gluten intolerant. I've tried a ton of gluten free recipes, its just not the same.I'll just enjoy looking at yours lol.

Love, love, love all kinds of bread...I'm practically drooling looking at these photos! Rob's sister and I used to make a Russian braided bread with saffron every Christmas. I want some warm bread and butter right NOW! :)

Carole- your home made bread is incredible. The photos are fabulous. We love fresh bread-- I love to use my bread machine-- but every now and then I like to do it all myself. There really is nothing like it. Loved this post!Vicki

this looks so good! I'll be over in 2 hours and 15 minutes, ha ha.Must see this video and get the recipe. Used to make bread all the time...this will get me started again to make one every so often.The pictures are great...makes my mouth water...so I am going to make myself a sandwich now, unfortunately on store-bought bread.Lots of hugs,Evi

I love the smell of the dough Carole. I always feel so good about myself when I bake a batch of fresh bread. When the kids were small it was almost impossible to keep it in the house. They loved to have hot bread and milk. Your photos are so beautiful. I always love your photography!sending hugs...

Baking my own bread is something I love to do. The thrill of kneading it, and watching it double in size and then the cooking, smells wafting from the oven {has to be one of the nicest} and then the eating.Yum, give me fresh bread with a bowl of steaming hot tomato soup and I will be happy.Your bread looks amazing, as always your photographs are extraordinarily gorgeous.
